Steve Smith: Snare Drum Improv on Shelly Manne's Billy Gladstone Snare
Click here to learn more about the Billy Gladstone snare drum.
On June 4, 2024,, I spent an afternoon at PAS Headquarters in Indianapolis, IN. PAS Executive Director Joshua Simmonds invited me to play a Billy Gladstone snare drum owned by Shelly Manne.
The snare drum was donated to PAS by Florence "Flip" Manne, Shelly's wife. My performance is a one-take, spontaneous improvisation played on a Billy Gladstone snare drum owned by Shelly Manne.
